Batista's final appearance with WWE for now was yesterday at RAW as expected. He was due to leave last month but the company managed to stretch the angle till the Over The Limit pay-per-view and give him a proper send off rather than having him tied to the ring post with duct tape be the last image.

Batista started with WWE in 2002 as Deacon Bautista and was teamed up with D-Von Dudley who took the gimmick of Reverend D-Von. After moving to the RAW brand he was renamed to Batista, joined Evolution and as they say, the rest is history.

During his eight years with the company, he won the World Heavyweight title four times, the WWE title twice, the World Tag Team title three times and the WWE Tag Team title once as well as the 2005 Royal Rumble.
